Last week, we took note of the fact that two of Microsoft’s lawyers, Brad Smith and Horacio Gutierrez, have a post up regarding Microsoft’s announcement of its tenth license agreement providing coverage under its patent portfolio for Android mobile phones and tablets. They also note that Microsoft has inked nine Android agreements in recent months, and that “companies accounting for over half of all Android devices have now entered into patent license agreements with Microsoft.” While it sometimes seems non-obvious, Microsoft gains as Android gains. Now, Gutierrez is defending the situation as perfectly normal in a new interview.
